Feb has been another big month for #TeamLayer. ?? Video generation is taking off - fast. In just a few weeks, we’ve added ?????? ??, ?????????? ??.?? ??????, and ?????? ??.?? to Layer, plus longer video generations for supported models. We really see video as the next major frontier to help game studios create assets like trailers, cutscenes, in-game animated backgrounds, etc - the possibilities are endless. This is alongside updates to our core 2D Forging, now with vector exports, background removal, and upscaling, making AI assets even easier to use in production and game engines. We also banged out a bunch of QoL updates - making our app smoother and more reliable.

Data compliance in the AI space?! Absolutely ? AI innovation moves fast. But you know what shouldn’t? Your data security. SOC 2 Type II compliance might not be exciting, but that’s the point. Security should be predictable and stable. No surprises. Just rock-solid protection for your creative work. That’s why we’re proud to be the first truly SOC compliant and data-secure solution for game studios.

AI Model highlight: Veo 2 x Cats & Soup ????? A fun Friday post inspired by the popular idle game from Hidea, we used the Veo 2 model (Google) to generate + edit together a quick video scene. Original images were created using FLUX, used to prompt clips in Veo 2, and then edited together with simple transitions. It’s a fun example, but illustrates how you can quite easily create short videos for usecases like in-game scenes, ads/social content, and app store trailers. With video production typically being super expensive and time consuming, we’re excited to see more options open up for game studios of all sizes - accessibility for indies, and scale for established teams. With Layer you can pick and choose whatever model works best for your project, or switch between them as needed. With new models coming out almost every few weeks at this point, flexibility is key. Veo 2 for example is great for creating longer videos with accurate camera angle and cinematic “controls”. Give it a try yourself and bring some cartoon cats to life ?? #gamedev #aivideo #veo2 #flux #layerai #genai #gamedevelopment #mobilegames #mobile

Sometimes that Joker pull is just?? ...sometimes not so much. Video generation is perfect for creating cool game scenes and effects like what Haluk Türken made below. With VFX and video production previously being so expensive (especially for smaller studios), now's a great time to explore your ideas without worrying about cost. We currently have 6+ video models on Layer today, with more coming all the time. Come give them a try ???

Creating high-quality game assets is the goal, but almost as important for studios is reliability, efficiency, and performance at scale. This is exactly why we use Temporal Technologies to help power our app. Offloading heavy tasks like asset generation and file processing has streamlined our backend and improved consistency, even under high demand. In this blog, Temporal breaks down how we integrated their tech to build a more scalable AI platform for gamedevs. Check it out ??

Looking for some creative inspiration? ?? This post by Haluk Türken shows some of the awesome assets you can make with Layer to support your game studio. Outside of core development, there's always a constant need for assets to bring players into your game - and the more interactive the better. Why not give it a try and see where YOUR creativity takes you?

When Ace Games wanted to scale asset production for Fiona’s Farm, they turned to Layer. Players are always looking for more content and managing asset pipelines for a popular live game can be challenging even for veteran studios. The team trained custom AI models using existing artwork, and then used those styles to build pipelines for new game characters and backgrounds. This let them scale up production the right way - in their own style, managed by their artists and creative leads. With Layer, their team: ? Created custom FLUX styles for characters + game backgrounds ? Built a lightweight process with refined assets in Photoshop and Layer Canvas ? Upscaled and expanded final images for polished in-game visuals The results? +80% increase in overall productivity, with over 120 hours in asset creation saved per month.
